Spotlight on nominee ALS Guardian Angels

Nominee ALS Guardian Angels Foundation

Next in our series of posts about new Charitocracy nominees, we have nominee ALS Guardian Angels nominated by donor Maggie. You can find their web site here.

Most ALS related organizations are dedicated to finding a cure. Until then, ALS patients need help living. The ALS Guardian Angels Foundation is dedicated to helping patients and their families live with ALS while maintaining the best quality of life possible.

A cure is not on the horizon. Someone has to help. Who will it be if not us?

Spotlight on Strawberry Mansion Learning Center

Strawberry Mansion Learning Center

Next in our series of posts about Charitocracy nominees, we have Strawberry Mansion Learning Center nominated by donor 4Good.

Kevin Upshur started the nonprofit in 2008 when he transformed the corner building he inherited from his mother—formerly a bar for 40 years—into a neighborhood education and resource center. What was once a dingy taproom—a drain on the community’s vitality and near-empty pockets—now serves up support, mentorship and a different kind of spirit.

The corner brick building, peeling with manila paint, is an afterschool safe-haven for kids who might otherwise go home to an empty house or neglectful parents—which, inevitably, often leads to street mischief and juvenile crime. The center is much more than a place to do homework: it is a harbor light for young minds adrift in a community lackluster in motivation and positivity.
